TRACKING____The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Bayelsa State on Friday called on the residents to remain calm assuring that it will take a while for dealers of premium motor spirit to adjust to the new pump price.

The Federal Government had on Wednesday directed all marketers to sell Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) at ₦125 per litre.
But the State Controller of the DPR, Mr. George Ene-Ita said he has sent a taskforce round to ascertain why filling @@@stations have not complied with the directive, and found that most of the filling stations have not sold out their old stock that is pegged at ₦145 per litre.
Explaining further, Mr. Ene-Ita said: “From yesterday (Thursday) we started visiting some of the retail outlets but to be honest with you, what the marketers are saying is that they need to meet amongst themselves because they bought their products before the directive came in.
“We are doing this with clarity of mind and fairness. What we are doing now is tracking the delivery process from the deports. Any product that is listed from the day the directive was given and ensure that such products are sold at the official pump price. So Bayelsans should be calm because we are working round the clock to ensure that they get the best.”
Going round to monitor the situation, only filling stations operated by the NNPC have adjusted their metres to N125, causing an unusual queue at the filling dtating
